Looks like a challenge! The fat-handled farmers could be a bit tricky.
Any chance of a heads-up on the weights for the barrels and the bags??

Hearing from some that it's a bit heavy!! For a qualifier!!! 260 for reps and fat handled farmers 110!!!! Thought people might want to see some lads actually be able to make a rep and pick farmers up !!!! Weights look more like inters or 105!!

we had this about the Northern when we asked for the weights to be put up, after looking at the 2012 ESM final events and last years events for BSM a light qualifier isnt the way to go imo, if U90 is to make head way it has to move from an every man category to a specialist sportsman scene, you must be able to specialise in the specific lifts at a competative level imo.
I think the weights are very good for what is to be expected at the final, its not nice to say but if the lads arent strong enough to do the quals they wont be in the final, and thats the goal really?? the main thing I think you have highlighted is that there may be a market for an intermediate level u90 comp in the south?

I agree with what you say but it doesn't explain the lack of interest!! 2 years in a row there were as Chris said more than 15 to 20 lads wanting to compete!!! How many guys can rep 260 on an appollons axle isn't it about getting more people involved?? I can only guess how heavy the final will be?!!
